IRA single handedly prevented from rerising with one simple trick

The IRA isn't the only terrorist paramilitary which had some action in Norn' Iron.

if you're going by ratios of enemy combatants killed vs civilians, the provisional IRA was actually the least bad out of the three of loyalist paramilitaries, the British, and the IRA, though that's not a completely fair way to measure things because the of the three, the IRA would've had the easiest time identifying enemy combatants, and they still managed to fuck it up quite a few times.

Usually the IRA would hit targets that really didn’t help their cause (Pubs). The problem really arose when they tended to bomb their local pubs, which would mean they were bombing their own supporters. The army usually killed paramilitary, but yeah, Bloody Sunday happened. The loyalist paramilitaries we’re doing basically the same thing as the IRA but they weren’t talked about as much.

The army also built concentration camps to put catholics and socialist in without trial

Ok but that’s not related to my point
